True, but all things I mentioned do affect the image quality (including DPI, if you have 360 dots per inch, you may have 360 differently coloured per inch, reduce that to 72DPI and you can only have 72 differently coloured dots per inch) (do some basic image manipulation, resizing, changing DPI etc and check the results yourself) and you do know that JPEG is a lossy compression method, don't you?
In addition to that, we have no way to know how much/ little the image was manipulated before it was used therefore making conclusions about the real display quality is not reliable.
I don't know whether they ever manage to produce 24-bit colour depth to allow true colour reproduction so the devices may never be able to cater to everyone, but neither can newspapers. If your mainly read photographic books etc, then you would need a different device, but then again, so they do in print (paper used vs "regular books" for example).
